“Into the Woods,” by Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine, is a modern classic inspired by tales of The Brothers Grimm. The story follows several primary characters – The Baker, The Baker’s Wife, Cinderella, Jack (the Beanstalk), Little Red Riding Hood – as they navigate dangers found in the woods. Characters deal with conflict and enchanted conditions as they meet the demands of a cunning Witch and conquer an angry Giant.

Performances will be July 14-17 at the Forest City High School in conjunction with Puckerbrush activities.
